JPMorgan Chase has accused the US Virgin Islands of being "complicit in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein" in a court filing, alleging that high-ranking officials there accepted money, advice and favours from the sex predator in exchange for turning a blind eye to his trafficking of young women. The bank is defending itself against a civil lawsuit by the Virgin Islands, which alleges that the bank knowingly enabled Epstein's sex trafficking and benefited from it when he was a customer from 1998 through 2013.
